Premises. Balance can be improved through physical exercises, both aerobic and anaerobic. Coordination and skills are motional customs also contributing to this action. Research in the field shows the importance of vestibular, visual and somatosensory system receptors in maintaining and improving balance. We will show that physical exercise influences and improves balance. Objectives. The objective of this study was to determine if the AMTI Netforce platform can be used as an objective measurement tool for the effects of hand-eye coordination over postural balance. Methods. We used the AMTI Netforce platform for all our measurements, focusing on two characteristics: the center of pressure’s trajectory area and length. Results. These results suggest that the coordination movements really do have an effect over the postural balance. Specifically, our results suggest that when the subject executes coordination movements, the trajectory’s length increases, thus consolidating our presumption that the force platform can give us an objective measurement tool for the coordination effects over postural balance. Conclusions. We have proven that the force platform does in fact offer us a reliable and objective way of identifying any difference between different positions or movements. Completing this first stage means that we found the objective tool to use in the next part of the research.
Key words: balance, hand-eye coordination, AMTI Netforce
